Love these shoes! So comfortable and stylin'. Finally, some sharp, wide shoes-and they actually are wide, unlike some that claim to be.

Great shoe. The WW is still slightly too narrow in the toe box, but I think I can stretch them enough to make them work. They look nice.

This shoe is beautifully made but even the wide was narrow for me. I had a high instep too. The brown patent and shape make this a beautiful clog.

I thought these would be more comfortable than they are. They aren't terrible, but being made by New Balance gave me high hopes. It didn't help that they run a little big but I wore them before I returned them. One size smaller would have been perfect. I am a Finn Comfort & Birkenstock fan - not quite the same ball park, but not terrible.

This shoe runs very small and slightly narrow. Otherwise it looks like a great shoe and seems well made.

The Tara slip-on is attractive and has a bit of a heel. It works well for casual wear, which is what I wanted. I have very wide feet and do best with a high toe box. I was hoping that since Aravon is owned by New Balance that it might be made on the SL-2 last (narrow heel, high instep, wide forefoot, deep toe box), which is perfect for my foot in a 9W. It is not. So, I bought a 9.5WW, which fits pretty well. The toe box is not as high as I would like and it is a little wide in the heel, but overall it works.

I wanted to love these, but don't. I bought wide, but they are a bit too wide. They are not comfortable as an all day shoe. I will continue my search for shoes for my painful feet.
